Hi there,
It seams charger or battery is faulty. It is hard to say which of the 2 is faulty as alot of laptops will not run if the battery is not installed. I would advise you take it in for repairs so they can test your battery and charger.

Hello MarkHold down the Fn key and press the F key which should have a wireless icon on it. Seen as its Christmas and i also live in good old Yorkshire, if you still need a hand when it comes to the day email me at leecom72@hotmail.com

Remove all the cables etc inc the power lead
Remove the battery
Hold the power button down for 20 seconds
Replace battery & Re-start. If you are as lucky as me it will be 'Hey-Presto' and lots of happiness.
